After Meng Lin was told to rest and Wen Bonshon left the room Meng Lin immediately thought about the system, since she couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Hmm” laying on the bed Meng Lin looked in the air at the invisible panel before her.

She noted that her experience points had increased by 15% and she attributed that to the strange thing that happened to her after the ancestral symbol activated.

She looked further and saw that the Taoist Gacha wheel was now unavailable, meaning she couldn't spin it for rewards. However, she still had 450 system coins remaining.

Meng Lin then checked her spiritual root and found that her Mutated spirit root, Erosion, or rather Elemental Qi had increased in comprehension by 4 percent, a higher rate than ever, however she also noticed how the Mud one didn’t increase.

Meng Lin couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her during the activation of the ancestral symbol for both her experience points and her comprehension in erosion to increase like that.

However the stuff that made her utter something was the affect next to her cultivation stage, the Beguilement affect.

Going by the meaning of the word Meng Lin began thinking a little as she couldn’t help but chuckle after coming to a realization.

‘No wonder I was so easily able to blurt out my entire history to a stranger’

However seeing as it’s only for a short period she assumed that Wen Bonshan was most certainly sent to get intel from her, to see if she was to be trusted.

However Meng Lin didn’t fluster over it as she knew that she couldn’t cultivate properly before because she hid her strength.

She also wanted to see what she could achieve with the help of a sect as opposed to just working alone.

She shook her head and slowly got up to sit on the bed, she decided to use this time to meditate and try to understand the changes in her spiritual root and cultivation techniques as well as her ancestral symbol.

She can’t completely feel her cultivation base so she took two pills from her worn out storage bag.

Inside her hand appeared the marrow cleansing pill and the calming pill, pills that she had taken from the little boss of the Golden Fang Bandits.

Popping them into her mouth she closed her eyes and focused on her breathing to try to calm her mind.

She felt the energy within her body flowing smoothly, and she began to sense the different elements around her.

She felt the water in the air, the warmth of the fire, the hardness of the earth, the flexibility of the wood, and the shining brightness of the gold.

As she continued to meditate, she felt a sudden surge of energy within her. It was as if a dam had burst open, and she was flooded with power.

She opened her eyes and saw that her Foundation Establishment Stage had returned to normal, and the Beguilement affect had disappeared, however that was not all.

Meng Lin finally felt a reaction from the Ancestral Symbol as she felt a surge of energy within her, and suddenly, she was flooded with knowledge and techniques that she had never known before.

She saw images of an ancient cultivation method, powerful techniques for controlling the elements, and secret knowledge about the nature of the world.

She felt her mind expanding and her understanding deepening, as if she had been given access to a vast library of wisdom, wisdom that was beyond her wildest dreams.

Meng Lin was amazed by what she was experiencing, and she knew that this inheritance was a precious gift, a gift from the system.

She resolved to study it carefully and master its secrets, so that she could become a powerful cultivator and achieve her goals.

With renewed determination, Meng Lin continued to meditate and explore the depths of her new inheritance.

She knew that the path ahead would be long and difficult, but she was ready to face any challenge that came her way, for she was now a cultivator with an ancestral legacy to uphold.

Wen Bonshan was currently in a room with 6 peoples who all gave off varying degrees of aura, each of them a Division Head of the Soul Shattering Sect.

They were all discussing the recent events that were taking place, including the appearance of masked men inside their sect zone.

“What are your thoughts on the motive behind the two masked men that our prodigy Wu Dao fought?” one of the Division Heads, an old man with a long white beard asked.

“I don’t really care, i am more intrigued in the fact that those two have Luan’s Soul,” another Division Head, a middle aged man with short hair replied.

“If we count them as well as the little girl that was brought back then that would make 20 known younglings with Luan’s Soul, there’s still 13 more out there” a voluptuous woman said with a chuckle.

“We need to find them before our enemies do,” another Division Head, a burly man with a scar on his face, spoke up.

“Yes, it was not long ago that the Palace was able to locate 3 of them in one area, if things keep going like this then we’ll lose the thing that made us famous in the first place” the voluptuous woman said.

“Agreed. We must increase our efforts and find a better method of locating them” the old man with the white beard said.

“Speaking off, didn’t you say that the girl was from the Levitation sect” the voluptuous woman asked as she looked towards Wen Bonshan who was standing by the side.

Wen Bonshan nodded. "Yes, she was from the Levitation Sect. However she only recently joined”

“If I remember correctly then those other three were also from the same region, why didn’t the Palace take her as well” the voluptuous woman asked with a curious smile.

Another Division Head, a quiet man spoke with a deep voice “ It could be a case where she only recently activated the sou’s properties after the Palace left”

“That could make sense as to why Lord Yuan attacked the Sect afterward, seeing as he too has Luan’s Soul” the burly man with the scar said.

“Unfortunately because of his death, we’ll have to wait a few years before his physique can resurface in someone” the old man held his beard as he wondered out loud.

“Now to the final point, which branch will be overseeing the new recruit from the Levitation Sect?" He asked, bringing the conversation back on track.
